"Analysis of the voting shows that the votes against the existing board members were cast almost entirely by four shareholder groups - Joint Stock Company "Uzhuralzoloto Group of Companies" ("UGC") (22.37%), Everest Alliance ("Everest") and Slevin (12.09% combined) and Fortiana Holdings (4.62%)[1].
The overwhelming majority (by number) of the Company's other shareholders voted to support the Board and Executive Directors who have led Petropavlovsk to outstanding success over the past year. However as the turn-out of voting shareholders was only approximately c.73%, the minority views of the four parties holding approximately 39.08% prevailed over the views of the remaining shareholders."
Ther was a 73% voter turnout (you never get a 100% turnout in any election) and 39.08 of them (magority) voted against the current board. They are simply accepting the results and want a new election. This is wrong IMO. London Stock Exchange won't allow it.
